Second edition, rare, after the first published in 1679, also rare. Fine printer's device of Sheldon's theatre. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Spine with raised bands, decorated. Joint split with lacks. Corners heavily bumped. Worn binding. Studies by the famous scholar and learned Isaac Vossius on the oracles and predictions that preceded the birth of Christ. Follow the objections and criticisms, then Vossius's response. At the end of his life, Vossius was settled in England where he was appointed canon of Windsor; this writing appears to date from his English period.
